It's as if it was cursed to keep sailing even without a crew.

It's like the ocean just swallowed up the crew, leaving the ship as an eerie reminder of their disappearance.

Here's a spooky one. In a far - off village, there was a Santa Claus who was said to be a vampire. He would come at midnight on Christmas Eve.

He would visit the houses of children who had misbehaved, not to give them coal but to drink their blood. The villagers were always on edge during Christmas, fearing the visit of this terrifying Santa Claus.
The story of the Carroll A. Deering is quite terrifying. In 1921, the ship was found stranded off the coast of North Carolina. The crew was missing, but there were some very strange signs.
